    Everything and everyone annoys me. Some us are just wired that way. I used to think my medication worked but on Sunday I flew into a rage on a fellow and got kicked off any frac they were on. I told them good luck with that as I was a manager at their company in the past and I still know people. One phone call and 10 minutes the next day I was allowed back. I won that battle. It felt great.

    Oh, I hear ya', you know, more than once, I came in from a run, threw the keys on the bosses desk and said I'm done. Luckily, I surrounded myself with great bosses, that understood job burnout, and put me on the dock for a spell. In 3 days, I was ready to go back out. A break really does wonders, but not everyone can do that. Vacations don't really do it either, as whatever you left, is usually there when you get back. That's where job hopping comes in, but in the end,it's the same stuff, different shovel. It is, however, a drivers market, and perhaps a job change is in order. The world is a crappy place if you're unhappy.

    Atleast he didn't get out of the pickup and go to the bathroom for 45 minutes. Can't say the same for some of the big trucks

    Lol the world is a very crappy place. It ain't a place of roses. I heard someone say once that if parents are painting the world as this lovely rosy place towards their children, then those parents don't truly love their children. I tend to agree with that. Job burnout is definitely real, but it's so important for everyone to learn to find the good within that job, and to not get too emotionally invested. Then the job burnout becomes misery, and that becomes contagious.

    Took this is Oklahoma. They added a bay for only cars,pick ups and rvs. I honestly would rather it be for washout only. Takes them 5 mins to wash those picks up.. Washouts can take 20 mins.

    Yes the "car wash" would have to be extremely small for that Ram not to fit, the only thing I can think of was maybe there is no car wash near by, or Dad sent son to wash SUV told him to take it to the "truck wash" and he was just following directions. :cool: Although seriously folks ever heard of a bucket filled with water suds and a sponge? Nothing beats some good old fashioned hard yakka.
